Using edmodo for contact with students absent from school through illness:
25 May 2011 and my Year 5 son's best mate is preparing to go into hospital today for an operation to correct a muscle shape issue in his knee! Big surgery for a 10 year old! This particular 10 year old is a **very keen** student and is concerned about missing school (he's the sort of student who does extra homework on Saturdays!). Enter **edmodo** and his technology teacher has very recently set up this class for use of **edmodo**. So we can maintain contact with Mr 10 during his prolonged absence, and it gives us both a place for him to receive and submit work, as well as a place for him to maintain contact with his friends! Sounds like a plan! Will keep you updated with how it goes!
